LOGINRebecca’s POV
With a sharp, guttural growl that vibrated in my own chest, he buried himself inside her in one heavy, punishing thrust. The sound of their bodies colliding—a wet, slapping sound—echoed through the silent room. Sasha let out a high-pitched, keening wail of pleasure, her fingers clawing at the dark wood of the desk. "Oh, Goddess... Enzo... yes!" she screamed, her head tossing back. I should have looked away. I should have run. But my eyes were wide, fixed on the rhythmic, violent motion of his back. His muscles rippled under his shirt, his shoulders bunching with every powerful drive. He was relentless. He wasn't being gentle; he was fucking her with a primal, animalistic hunger that made my stomach flip. He pulled back until he was almost out—the slick, friction-filled sound of his exit making my face flame—before slamming back into her again. The desk groaned under their weight, sliding an inch across the floor. "Is he... big enough... for you, Rebecca?" Sasha gasped out between moans, her eyes hooded and glazed as she stared at me. Enzo’s hands moved from her hips to her hair, wrapping the locks around his fist and pulling her head back. He began to pick up the pace, his thrusts becoming faster, shallower, and more brutal. The air in the room was thick now, heavy with the scent of sex, whiskey, and the raw musk of an Alpha male in heat. I watched the way the veins stood out on his arms. I watched the way he gritted his teeth, his face filled with pure, concentrated lust. Every time he hit her, I felt an ache between my own legs, a throb of desire mixed with a crushing, soul-deep agony. "Enzo... please... more!" Sasha sobbed, her body shaking as she neared her peak. He didn't say a word. He just gritted his teeth, his breath coming in hot, heavy pants. He looked like an animal. He pulled out almost all the way, the sound of it making my stomach flip, before slamming back in so hard Sasha’s whole body jolted forward. "Watch her, Enzo," Sasha gasped, her voice breaking. "Watch the little girl cry." Enzo didn't look at me, but he grabbed Sasha’s hair, tensing his arm as he changed his rhythm. He slowed down, pulling her off the desk just enough to make her stand on her tiptoes. He reached down, grabbing one of her legs and hooking it over his hip. Now, I could see everything. He started moving again, his thrusts deep and slow. I could see his massive cock sliding in and out of her, slick with her juices and the spit he’d used earlier. It looked raw. It looked painful and perfect all at once. He was bottoming out inside her, his hips grinding against hers with a desperate kind of hunger. "Enzo... please..." Sasha whimpered, her hands clawing at his back, leaving red marks on his skin. He picked up the speed again, his movements becoming faster. He was pounding into her, his body shaking with the effort. Every thrust was a reminder that he didn't want me. Every moan Sasha let out was a slap to my face. The room started to go blurry. The heat coming off them was suffocating. I felt a weird, sharp pain between my legs—a mix of want and pure, sick horror. My head felt light, like it was filled with smoke. Enzo’s growls got louder, deeper. He was close. He shifted his grip, his fingers digging into her ass as he delivered several fast, brutal stabs. Sasha was screaming now, her body shaking as she came, her muscles clamping down on him. At the last second, Enzo let out a choked, guttural sound and pulled out. I watched, paralyzed, as he stroked himself, his seed hitting the floor between them in hot, thick pulses. He stayed there for a moment, chest heaving, before he slowly turned his head. His eyes, dark and blown out with lust, locked onto mine. My vision began to tunnel. I felt my legs give way. The floor rushed up to meet me, and everything went black before I could even scream. The room was pitch black when my eyes finally fluttered open. For a second, I forgot where I was, but then the heavy scent of my own room hit me. I was lying on my bed, tucked under the covers as if nothing had happened. But everything that had occurred rushed back into my head. I sat up slowly, my head throbbing with a dull pain. Tears stood in my eyes, hot and thick, before rolling down my cheeks. I didn't sob; I didn't have the energy left to scream. The pain was too deep for that. It was a cold, hollow ache that settled right in the center of my chest. He had broken me. He hadn't just rejected me as his mate and his wife; he had humiliated me in a way I could never come back from. He wanted me to see him as a monster, and he had succeeded. He wanted to prove I was a child, and he had used the most brutal lesson possible to do it. I looked at my hands; they were still shaking. I thought about the cliff, the way he had dived in to save me, and the way he had just destroyed me in his room. The man who saved my life was gone. Only the future Alpha remained—the man who now belonged to my sister. I closed my eyes, picturing the wedding that was supposed to happen tomorrow. The pack would celebrate. They would cheer for Enzo and Clara. And I was expected to stand there and smile? To be the little sister in the front row? A strange, numbing calm started to wash over my broken heart. The obsession, the desperate need for him to look at me, the foolish hope that he was only playing hard to get—it all died in that room. I clutched the sheets, my voice coming out low and final. "Enzo... I'm letting you go." I didn't say it with anger. I said it with the kind of exhaustion that comes when you finally realize the fire you've been chasing is only there to burn you. I crawled out of bed, my legs feeling heavy. I walked over to my nightstand and pulled open the small drawer. My fingers fumbled until they found the bottle of sleeping pills. I didn’t even count them; I just shook a few into my palm and swallowed them dry, the bitterness coating my tongue. I climbed back under the covers and closed my eyes, praying for a void deep enough to swallow tomorrow whole. I wanted to sleep through the cheers, the vows, and the moment he finally officially became hers. I wanted to wake up when it was all over. I don’t know how long I was out. The darkness was thick and heavy, dragging me deeper into a dreamless fog. But slowly, the world started to seep back in. I felt a hard, tapping pressure on my arm. A voice was calling my name, sharp, loud, and laced with worry. I forced my eyes open, the light from the window blinding me. My head felt like it was filled with cotton, and my limbs were nearly impossible to move. As my vision cleared, I saw Clara. She was leaning over me, her face pale and her eyes wide with a desperation I had never seen in her before. She was already in her wedding robes, but they were wrinkled, and her hands were shaking violently. "Becca, wake up! Please!" she begged, her voice cracking. I stared at her, my mind still sluggish from the pills. I didn't want to look at her. I didn't want to be the sister right now. But the panic on her face stopped the breath in my throat. She grabbed my shoulders, pulling me upright. "You have to help me, Becca. Please."Rebecca’s POVBy ten the next morning, I should have been sitting in class. Instead, I was walking across the Academy grounds toward the witches' block on the far side of campus.I hadn't slept properly after returning from Enzo's hotel. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw pieces of things I couldn't fully remember—Enzo smiling at me, a wedding ring on my finger, his arms wrapped tightly around my waist, and then complete darkness. It was driving me crazy. I needed answers, and I needed them today.The witches' building stood apart from the rest of the territory, surrounded by tall, ancient trees and a heavy, thrumming atmosphere thick with the scent of crushed herbs, dried sage, and latent magic. Most people avoided this side of campus unless they had a reason to be here.Today, I had a damn good reason.I stepped into the courtyard, where a woman in her late thirties with sharp, observant grey eyes stopped sweeping the stone steps and looked up at me. She wore a long black dress
Rebecca’s POVEnzo stared at me for so long that I thought he might finally answer.But he didn’t.Instead, he pressed his mouth into a razor-thin line, dragging both hands over his face as he turned away from me. His shoulders were tense, his eyes flickering with raw agony beneath a wall of absolute resistance. When he finally spoke, his voice sounded rough, laced with deep pain and exhaustion.“I can’t tell you the truth right now, Rebecca,” he rasped. “I’m sorry... I’m so fucking sorry, but I can't.”I stared at him, the silence stretching long and heavy between us. The anger inside me slowly hollowed out into a dull, numb ache. Looking at the iron set of his jaw, I knew it was useless to fight him. He was locked down. He wasn't going to give me another single word tonight, no matter how hard I begged, shouted, or screamed.Without saying another word, I walked back toward the bed and sat down on the edge of it. Enzo remained standing for a few seconds before slowly sinking o
Rebecca’s POVFor several seconds, Enzo said nothing. Then he released a long breath and lowered his head.“Close the door, Rebecca.”“No.”His eyes lifted to mine.“You talk first.”Something painful crossed his face. He rubbed a hand over his jaw before finally speaking. “Yes.”My heart skipped. “Yes... what?”“Yes, we knew each other before the coffee shop.”Everything inside me went still. I slowly released the door handle, staring at him. “What?”Enzo looked directly into my eyes this time. “That wasn't the first time we met.”My stomach dropped.I knew it. God, I fucking knew it.“How?” My voice came out weak. “How did we know each other?”He didn't answer immediately, and my patience snapped. “Enzo.”“We were together.”I shook my head. “Together how?”His jaw tightened.“Don't make me drag every fucking word out of you!”“We were married.”My entire body froze. For a second, I genuinely thought I had heard him wrong.“What?”Enzo swallowed hard. “You were
Rebecca's POV“Who the fuck are you?” I asked again, grabbing the sheet off the bed and wrapping it tightly around myself.Enzo stared at me, looking completely stunned. For a second, he seemed confused, but then something else flashed across his face—a sudden, unmistakable flash of pure panic. It disappeared so quickly I almost thought I had imagined it, but I caught it. I knew I did.“Becca, what’s wrong?” he asked softly, extending a hand toward me.I didn’t answer. Instead, I backed away until my bare feet hit the cold floor, my chest heaving as my mind spun wildly to process the dream I had just woken up from.No. It hadn’t felt like a dream at all. It had felt like a living, breathing memory. I could still see everything so clearly: me standing in a white wedding dress, Enzo standing across from me, people surrounding us as his hand held mine and we exchanged vows. It was so crystal clear—like a life I had lived before someone ripped it out of my head. I had been marrying
Enzo’s POVShe was fast asleep, her breathing soft and even against my chest. I stayed completely still, staring down at her face in the quiet glow of the city lights outside. One arm rested loosely across my stomach, her body trusting me in a way her mind couldn't explain. She looked peaceful—so completely different from the guarded, exhausted woman I had been watching around the Academy these past few days.So, what’s next? my wolf chimed in, his voice heavy with worry.I stared at the ceiling and let out a long, quiet sigh. I didn’t know.God, maybe wiping her memories had been a terrible mistake. The thought had been haunting me ever since I came back into her life. At the time, I'd convinced myself I was protecting her. I thought taking away those memories would make everything easier for her. But looking at her now, I wasn't so sure.This Rebecca wasn't happy—not truly. I could see it no matter how hard she tried to hide it. She looked tired, weighed down by a heavy burden.
Rebecca's POVThe words had barely left my lips before Enzo’s mouth claimed mine again.This time there was no waiting. His kiss was deep and wild, his tongue sliding against mine, tasting and claiming me as if he had been waiting for permission to stop holding back. I melted into it, my fingers still wrapped in his hair, pulling him closer until there was no space left between us. The weight of his body pressed me into the bed, heavy and solid, and the feeling of him against me sent a slow, burning heat spreading low in my stomach.He stopped kissing me just long enough to drag his mouth down my jawline, then lower, to the soft skin right under my ear. His breath was warm. His teeth scraped lightly against me. A soft noise came out of my mouth before I could stop it."Still want this?" he whispered against my skin."Yes."His hands slid under the bottom of my shirt, his palms hot against my waist. He pushed the shirt up slowly, giving me every chance to stop him. I didn't. I r
Rebecca’s POV“You have to help me, Becca. Please… take my place. I can't marry Enzo. I won't,” Clara whispered, her voice trembling as much as her hands.I stared at her, certain the sleeping pills were playing tricks on my mind. Then I let out a dry, hollow laugh. “You’re joking. You have to be
Rebecca’s POVI stared at Enzo, my vision blurring. For a moment, I didn’t believe it. It felt as though the floor had opened up to swallow me whole."Congratulations," Father said, his voice thick with pride."No!" I shouted.I shot to my feet so fast the chair nearly crashed backward. Before
Rebecca's POVIt had been two days since the cliff accident, and I still wasn’t allowed to see Enzo. Every time I went to the healer's wing, the warriors sent me away. They told me the same thing over and over: he had made it clear he didn't want to see me.I sat on my bed, feeling restless and s
Rebecca’s POVShock flashed across his face. Then guilt. Then something colder.“Rebecca,” he said sharply.I couldn’t breathe. Sasha turned to look at me confused, but Enzo never moved away from her. He didn’t push her off or cover himself. If anything, he glared at me, like he wanted this mome
